Quotes

"If we have a portion of this technology equity moved into commercial real estate, passive, where we're not actually having to now trade our time for money again, but we're actually able to get income. Hey, maybe we could take a few more vacations. Maybe we could take a sabbatical. I mean, that was where it really started."

"Real estate is so powerful because there's four ways that you make money in real estate."

"You're building a financial fortress. You're building something that can weather not just your life, multiple generations, multiple recessions."

"You will only get what you're worth if you know your value."

"A life well lived is where I am leveraging all of my strengths to educate, to serve and to connect."
